What is life when seeking ends?
Just what is, nothing more or less―
an ordinary person doing ordinary things,
not wishing to be more or less,
content to simply be herSelf.
―Dorothy Hunt, Only This
Do you ever feel as if your spiritual search is getting you nowhere? That despite sincere intention and effort, you’re reaping frustration instead of fruit? In Ending the Search, Dorothy Hunt unravels a dilemma that has vexed countless people on a spiritual path. “You may have tried all manner of practices, meditation, guru shopping, chanting, prayer, and still you have not attained your heart’s desire,” she writes. “This book is about the ego’s spiritual ambition, its search for its idea of ‘enlightenment,’ its struggles and its eventual fate as seeker becomes the sought.”
Ending the Search explores the deep spiritual impulse to awaken and the ways a future-focused mind “co-opts” or veils what is timelessly free, loving, and ever present. Dorothy invites us to follow our longing for truth, love, or enlightenment back to their source―the Heart that is beckoning us beyond separation. While describing and honoring different practices and paths taken in one’s search for Truth, she emphasizes the practice of self-inquiry as taught by Ramana Maharshi. We are invited to search not for an idea of something “out there,” but for the true identity of the seeker, the unnamable Mystery that is compassionately aware, existing right now in each of us. The book also looks at the processes of embodiment and surrender, the need for “ruthless honesty” without self-judgment, and in its concluding section, shares a vision of life lived authentically.
“The spiritual search is a call to remember who or what you essentially are,” explains Dorothy Hunt. “What ends the search is actually present from the very beginning, beckoning you to come Home. In truth, you are what you seek, yet you must make the discovery for yourself.” This is your invitation, with Ending the Search.
Highlights:
• The nature of spiritual ambition
• When practice becomes problematic
• How the thinking mind separates us from the moment
• Silence and stillness, our greatest teachers
• Ego and the trance of separation
• The human heart as a doorway to the infinite
• The freedom of Presence
• The price of Realization
• Gurus, spiritual teachers, and charlatans
• Undoing core egoic beliefs
• Resting the mind in the Heart of Awareness

    5.0 out of 5 stars A fine guidebook
    Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2018
    Verified Purchase
    This book is an invitation to learn from silence and stillness. To stop trying, stop pretending, stop believing your stories of who you are. To simply rest as what we are. Hunt worked with Mother Teresa, Adyashanti, and Ramesh Balsekar and was inspired by Ramana Maharshi. The book is both a guidebook and a sharing of her experiences of her own spirit journey. Her exercises help you deconstruct your sense of self and experience “awareness moving as love.” She explores the difference in hearing and listening, the transmission of truth beyond words, and the ridge pole of your egoic separate self – fascinating subjects in my book. I suggest hanging out with Hunt’s book for awhile early each morning. You won’t be sorry.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Turns Non-Duality Back Into Duality
    Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2019
    Verified Purchase
    I have really struggled to write a review for this book as this is my 3rd edit. This book suffers from what so many books on non-duality suffer from which is taking this "one-ness" - the only thing that is - and dividing it back up into concepts and doctrines.

    Time and again the author speaks beautifully and eloquently of the essential truth of non-duality only to immediately chop it back up into concepts and ideas.

    For example, a quote from the book:

    "It is Presence that pulls the seeker toward Presence. It is not your action that invites Spirit or God into your life; Spirit has invited your expression into its life. Spirit is Presence."

    What "Presence" or "Spirit" and why the capitalization? What or where is there a "spirit" or "god" or anything that can pull anyone or anything into its life? That is the very definition of duality.

    Overall this book contains too many concepts to believe in, way too many ideas of what is and what isn't, and way too many christian-religious vestiges - all clouding and covering what would have been the author's beautiful message of the one mysterious unfolding now.

    Great book with many insights that reveal that it is not a journey we are on but an awakening to what we truly are. As we surrender to Being we find our True Self and the freedom to Be that which we were always meant to be. As Dorothy says in her book "Our life knows our destination even though our mind does not".

    5.0 out of 5 stars Awakening can only be alluded to or pointed at and Dorothy Hunt does this beautifully by threading her words with threads of mystery
    Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2018
    This book was a pleasure to read and will be given a treasured place on my bookshelf. Awakening can only be alluded to or pointed at and Dorothy Hunt does this beautifully by threading her words with threads of mystery, poetical prose and spaciousness. She gently braids together excerpts of her poems, teaching stories and glimpses of her own spiritual life to give us a taste of what she is pointing to. I will be dipping back into this book over and over again. Highly recommended.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Treasure trove of wisdom
    Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2018
    I am grateful for this book. This is one of those books that can shift your perception just by the act of reading with an open mind. Dorothy shares so much wisdom, clearly and lovingly expressed. While reading I felt a wonderful sense of relief. She conveys the good news that what you are seeking is already present, so you can relax the struggle around the spiritual search. I also enjoyed the sprinkling of poetry throughout the book.

    3.0 out of 5 stars "No one else can deliver truth to you." Everything you seek is already inside you.
    Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2018
    Dorothy Hunt takes us through her own journey of "seeking" and shares what she has learned along the way. Raised in the Christian (Protestant) faith, she always felt there was something "more". Her search led her to investigate other ideologies and religions; she speaks a lot of Zen Buddhism.

    This book takes time to read and contemplate. I tried to read it at the same speed I usually read, and quickly became frustrated and thought she was talking in circles. It was only when I slowed down and "listened" that the book became meaningful.

    Some of my favorite take aways and quotes:

    Everything you seek is already inside you. (my take away)

    We are all one, and love is all that matters. (m take away)

    "...we often fail to touch the Timeless dimension of ourselves, where we are never separated from anyone or anything, and never apart from the infinite and unconditional Love that is available now, if our heart opens wide enough. What is timeless and eternal is Now, not something extended in duration. The mind defines eternity as unending time, failing to realize that in the Timeless there is no time."

    "No one else can deliver truth to you."

    "Peace is important, but not as important as our capacity to enjoy it." Thich Nhat Hanh

    "We can increase our capacity to enjoy peace when we realize that this moment is the only one available for us to touch reality. Perhaps life is neither a problem to be solved nor a destination, but an endlessly unfolding creation moment-to-moment."

    "The eye through which I see God is the same eye through which God sees me; my eye and God's eye are one eye, one seeing, one knowing, one love." Christian mystic, Meister Eckhart

    My sincere thanks to NetGalley and Sounds True Publishing for sharing an e-copy of this book with me.

    I prefer Dorothy Hunts poems, which seem to capture the essence of what it’s all about. This book is obviously more discursive, and very interesting in parts. And helpful. The practical exercises are very good.

    I enjoyed this book very much though I prefer the book "The End of Your World" by Dorothy's teacher, Adyashanti. What I most liked about Dorothy's book was her honesty and her repeated and clear message of the need to return to the Heart of Awareness within.
